The Dems LOVE unarmed victims being massacred by psycho criminals, they get tremendous propaganda value from it.
Expect the bill to go nowhere or even be vetoed by Zero.
Self defense would work, but Dems do not see it as being a right.
They prefer people sit in the fetal position and await death.
It’ll never go anywhere with the current crop of scum in office but I’m glad that it’s being addressed by at least someone on the hill.
Excellent! Let’s also repeal the law prohibiting firearms on postal service property. I’m getting tired of parking elsewhere and having to walk to the PO just because I have a firearm in my car.
At minimum, change the language so that any individual who may legally carry in public outside a school zone, may carry inside a school zone. And do the same with Post Offices. The only people the law should apply to are felons and teenage gang-bangers, and it’s ALREADY illegal for them to be carrying.
It is unconstitutional. SCOTUS, under Rehnquist ruled exactly that. In the majority opinion SCOTUS even 'scolded' Congress that: 'The Commerce Clause Doesn't Pertain To Everything.'
And Di-Fi went ballistic as it was her pet law. For years she had a rant on her senate webpage that SCOTUS was being "unfair", as she "meant well". And even though it was unconstitutional -- as she admitted -- SCOTUS should have let it stand as it was ... "For The Children".
But after that States and Towns enacted their own 'gun free school zone' laws so a Federal Law wasn't really needed.
So I am a bit confused about this '1990' law?!?
(a different version must have been enacted at some time after SCOTUS' 1st ruling)
btw, No Offense but in 1990 wasn't Bush 41 POTUS, not Billy-Jeff. So '41' must have signed some Gun Free Law into effect.
CA considering legislation to increase school zones from 1,000 feet to 1,500 feet.
